Nearly one year ago, Castle Pines resident Tammy Abramovitz was named one of the
top 100 most extraordinary party hosts in the country by the online magazine, The Salonniere. Abramovitz was listed alongside other notables like Reese Witherspoon and Oprah Winfrey. This honor was no surprise for the residents of the Castle Pines community, as neighbors have known for years that Abramovitz is indeed the host with the most.
Growing up in Texas, Abramovitz often wore a necklace that said, “This girl needs a party.” She shared, “My grandmother told me, ‘that’s a great saying, but you can’t live your life like that’.” On that note, Abramovitz did exactly what she was told she couldn’t. From small, intimate dinner parties around a re to large events with 300
or more attendees, Abramovitz created a life of parties.
“Tammy understands how simple, tiny, deeply wonderful and often comical touches make ripples of joy in all our hearts. No matter how old and jaded, delight can still be prodded, jostled and nudged awake. She is a style wrangler and a people curator who is rich in friends,” said Cindy
Ollig, friend to Abramovitz and owner of The Perfect Petal in Denver.
Parties with a purpose are Abramovitz’s passion. The reason for the party could be as simple as enjoying fellowship with friends on a summer evening, sipping cocktails or rocking on her back-porch swing. It could also be more involved, where the goal is to raise funds for organizations near and dear to her heart.
A long-time steward for Warren Village, a housing assistance program in Denver for low- income single parents, Abramovitz has been throwing parties that bene t the organization for more than 10 years. In 2018, Abramovitz co- chaired the Warren Village gala and raised more than $300,000 – the most funds ever raised in the organization’s history.
